DESPITE the hot sun beating down, dozens of people including non-Muslims made their way to the Ramadhan bazaar in the capital to buy food and beverages offered at affordable prices.
The Sunday Bulletin yesterday spoke to some of the members of the public and local vendors at the Ramadhan bazaar at the parking lot in front of the Royal Regalia Building in Bandar Seri Begawan.
One of the visitors, Muhammad Aryan bin Abdullah, shared that the Ramadhan bazaar is one of the most visited by Muslims to buy food and beverages for breaking fast.
“This is one of the first choices among the public to buy food where there is a wide range of items to choose from, and here it is easier for us to find and buy all food and beverages at one place,” he said.
Another visitor, Nurhafizah Aji, said that the Ramadhan bazaar is one of most sought-after places during the month of fasting.

“I often come to the Ramadhan bazaar to buy food where I can find varieties of local and even international cuisine that cannot be found at regular restaurants or shops, especially our traditional ‘kuih-muih’,” she said.
For 22-year-old Siti Khadijah binti Abdullah, it was her second time participating in the Ramadhan bazaar at the Royal Regalia Building parking lot. “I really enjoy the positive public response. This is our second time participating in the bazaar and we offer home-made ‘kuih muih’ and Malay pastries.”
Meanwhile, Siti Noor Saffinah binti Saffahi, taking care of her family stall, shared, “It is our family business and I grew up helping out at our grandmother’s stall when she participated in the Ramadhan bazaar at the stadium. Later, we decided to branch out.
“The public response so far is good. This is our second participation and customers prefer coming to our stall because of its accessibility.”
